C# :: API For Getting Names Of Nearby Shops From GPS Location On A Smartphone?
Feb 1, 2012
I am looking for an API which returns a list of nearby shop/cafe/business names (with coordinates would be great but not needed) within a given radius (or simply "nearby" if available) - from a given set of coordinates (which could be the current location).I am undecided as to which platform to use (native Android or iOS or non-native AIR for example or Javascript/ajax on a webpage) and so welcome any known apis. I would only expect the api to work on web-enabled devices.

I'm trying to do some restructing of a flash codebase, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify something for me as I'm unsure whether what I'm trying to do goes against a fundamental priciple of flash development or I'm being confused by the Flash CS4 user interface(I've got a java development background, so some of the interaction between fla files and the like is somewhat difficult at times to get my head around). I've done several searches but can't seem to find any similar problems, apologies if any exist.
Basically, I want to restructure my codebase and move my fla files around by putting them at a different location in the directory structure.
Existing structure:
basecompany namecomponent name
where fla files are stored in base, and code is stored in company namecomponent name, and code in said location is in the company name.component name package.
What I want to do is move my fla files from base to component name for each individual project. The actual location of the code is unchanged, but the fla files no longer compile, giving me a 5001 error - package name does not reflect location. I'm assuming that this is because the relative location is different - as far as the fla file is concerned, the code it is referencing is located at component name, not company namecomponent name. Is it possible to make the CS4 publisher understand that the fla file is not at the root of the package structure, and if so how?

I designed an entirely based flash site and suddenly was informed that on the iPhone a user sees just a black screen, on my SmartPhone I see and icon of a page on a white background. How do I make my site be visible on iPhone or SmartPhone, and I guess on Android phones as well.

I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

I have a series of swfs that I've connected via loadmovie. This works well with I press the NEXT button, but not the PREVIOUS button. The PREVIOUS button starts at the beginning of the called movie. I need it to start at a specific location. Is that doable? If yes, how? I tried adding the gotoandplay after the call to the swf, but no luck.

How do you change this code so that it works when the swf timeline its on, is loaded into a movieclip on a main swf stage (_root.loadarea)It works fine on its own but dont when loaded into the loadarea mc.
Code:
var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var path = "http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/code/flash.css";
var quick = "<br><p class='one'>The quick Kirupa jumps over the lazy dog.</p>[code]..........

I have a flash file that calls a XML file to give it commands, such as color etc...
I want to change the name of the XML file, but am not sure how to change it in flash so that the SWF knows where to find the XML.

I have been working with xml sheets to load a menu and in order to load a submenu or to go to a submenu of a submenu, I was wondering if it is possible to load a variable location for an xml.
For example, if I had the variable xmllocation which was a string that said where in an xml a certain menu was, is it possible to use the xmllocation variable for something like this:
( if xml.xmllocation.length() > 0 ) do something;
whenever I tried messing around with it, it would actually go to look for "xmllocation" in the xml instead of check what the string is. So what I guess I am really asking is, is there a way to tell it not to be so literal?

I know the basics of tweening with action script but I have a picture set in the center of the stage at x = 50. On a click I would like that picture move - 10 x from that position so it will end the tween at 40. On a different button I would like to do the oppositie, + 10 x to its current position so if it was at 40 it would be back to the start and if it was at the start it would be at 60.

I am having a problem with finding the current URL displayed in the browser.
I have tried..
1. this.loaderInfo.loaderURL.toString()
2. var local:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
local.domain
Above two methods returns url of swf location but my requirement is bit different
Finally I have used. ExternalInterface.call('window.location.href.toStr ing');
but ExternalInterface.call('window.location.href.toStr ing'); will not work where JavaScript is disabled hence I would like to know if there are any possible way or hack to do this.

I am trying to duplicate a movie clip several times (to create a wallpaper from a background tile). However I'm running all code from the first frame of the file on the _root level, but the MC I am targeting is nested deeper. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I just cannot get the duplicated MCs to stay at the same location is the MC I am cloning!
The clip I want to clone is _root.core.bg.tile I want the duplicates to reside in _root.core.bg with names such as...
_root.core.bg.tile_2
_root.core.bg.tile_3 etc
Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
function preloader()
{
loadImage(global_path + "assets/images/website/construct/wood-texture.png",

I posted this question a few days ago but didn't get a response, so I think perhaps I put it in too specific a context. I thought I'd try again and couch the question in more general terms this time. Unfortunately I can't move on with my work until I get this issue solved!
What I need to do is find a way to see if there is a MovieClip at a particular spot. So, say I have a random point and a bunch of random MovieClips. At this random point, there may be any of the MovieClips or there may not. I won't know what these are in advance. I need the ActionScript to tell me if there is ANY MovieClip at this random spot - and, if there is, what MovieClip it is.

I have most of the basics down in actionscripting. I want to learn a little bit more on if else statements. I have an issue right now that I am pretty sure needs to use the if else statement.
What I have is an FLV playing in a browser. When that FLV is done playing, I want it to getURL to a different location. So basically when the FLV is done it goes to the next HTML page.
I attempted and got this far :
[AS]
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

I need to use a variable name in a location, for example:
aS_mc.aScreen_mc.aScroller_mc.a1.gotoAndStop(_global.aPicture);
The a1 is what I want to change, I've got a global variable that changes to a1, a2, a3, etc, on another function The global variable I'm using is _global.aChoice
So, I've been looking around, and the only thing I found that I thought my work is
aS_mc.aScreen_mc.aScroller_mc._global[a1].gotoAndStop(_global.aPicture);
But this didn't work either

I had the core of my site down for me, I believe in Flash 8 using AS2. I took over the site and attempted to learn everything that they did, so I could update it myself. The one thing that I can't figure out... is where they put the customized scrollbars they made for my site. There are some scrollPane components in the library, but I can't see where he put the custom scrollbars. The homepage link is here:The blue scrollbars are what I'm trying to find. When I add more content I want to be able to use the same scrollbars. If you need the FLA, I'll send it to you. I am pretty sure there is some default location that they're stored in though, and I'm just not seeing it
